A Season-Best Performance from Zaden Wolf Leads Central Valley over Twin Loup

Wolf rushed for 216 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 57 yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (119) per game. Those 216 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
The win (which was Central Valley's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars dukes it out withPalmer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Reimers Came Up Big in Palmer's 36-28 Victory
Gatlin Reimers continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He made 19 total tackles (1.0 for loss).

Cooper Pokorny Crosses Big Stat Threshold
While Chambers/Wheeler Central might've come up empty on Friday, Cooper Pokorny wasn't going down without a fight. Pokorny showed up in a big way, rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.2) per game.

Chambers/Wheeler Central is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Pokorny will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Burwell on Friday.
